EAST MONTPELIER, Vt. – Emily Packard and her Northstar Fireworks/Packard Fuels team are gearing up to make the final trip of the season north of the border for the ACT/PASS Chaudière Twin 200’s at Vallée-Jct., QC’s Autodrome Chaudière.
This will be the 18-year olds first trip to this ¼ mile, high banked oval. Nonetheless, her veteran crew chief, Neal Woodward, has had some experience here previously, and will base the initial car set-up on something similar to what they ran at White Mountain Motorsports Park. From there they will adjust it as needed but Packard knows that it will be a challenge to get a handle on the track and the set-up in the three allotted 30 minute practices they have. “I have never had the chance to run here but I hear it’s a fun place to race and I am really looking forward to it,” Packard said. “Practice will definitely be important to get a feel for the track and getting the car set-up to run well there. Having just raced at Thunder Road, another high banked oval, I feel that we are somewhat prepped for this race.” (more…)
